Just ran into a rather frustrating problem.  Just yesterday, I took all the Star Wars sound mixes I had (1977 mono, 1977 stereo, and 1993 stereo) that were already synchronized to the GOUT (minus the 1985 mix, which I have, but it's unsynchronized) and added the exact amount of delay at the beginning needed to properly sync them up.

I then took the GOUT video track I had in Avid underneath my Revisited/AVCHD track and made sure it lined up perfectly with the beginning, and adjusted the Revisited/AVCHD track accordingly.  I then erased the mono mix audio that I'd attempted to manually sync up (with more or less OK results - the YouTube clip makes it look worse than it was, but it still wasn't 100% exact) and replaced it with the new file that I'd added the delay to (which now syncs up 100% perfectly!) ... but the problem is, somewhere along the line the Revisited/AVCHD track becomes one frame out of sync with everything else.  Now I have to go through every shot until I find the first one that's off so I can fix it.  Ugh.

I think I'll take a break from this for the rest of the day today and come back to it tomorrow to fix this.

 

The easiest way to fix it would be when you find it to copy the extra frame of audio, delete it from the synched file and drag it back so that it synchs, and then place the extra frame of audio to overlay on top of the audio in the spot where it would be. It won't be noticeable. Unless you think that you'll notice when a shot is cut one frame short, in which case maybe you should take a break from star wars for a very very long time ;p
